Hello all...

I've been lurking for a while and this forum has really helped me a lot. Thanks to everyone.

I'm driving a 99 nissan sentra 1.6.

She's a great car and I love her to death. We treat each other right.

Recently, I've noticed a noise, a high-pitched squeal on the belt side. I first noticed it when I turned the engine off. It's become more prevalent--I can hear it when the car is idling in drive, but it stops if I put it in park. I can hear it sometimes when I drive, but I'm not positive of how it starts and stops because of traffic noise. It seems that it would stop if I accelerated, but return after a certain RPMage. Again, I can't be sure of the details while the car is moving.

Any thoughts?

What I've come up with from the search forum is this:

belts
bearings in the alternator, a/c compressor, idler tension pulley, etc...

Thanks again.

Nissan's rock!

thanks for the reply IanH. I haven't made any correlations between the squeal and it being wet. Having said that I do live in Houston and it's often humid as (insert expletive).
